RN6ELs BROTHER CH0KED OFF.
Late last night crowd OF about three
hundred people assembled in front of the
btore formerly kept by Engle, on milwaukee,
avenue, and was harrangued by a brother OF
the doomed man, who spoke In English ana
German. He protested against the hanging
Of his brother and called it the murderof an
innocent man by government which was
for the benefit of a few and at the cost OF the
many. AS he spoke the ciangor
and rumble Of patrol wagon from
the West Chicago avenue station was heard
and ten or a dozen policemen cleared his
place In an instant, pushed Engel into the
store and made him lock the place up and
put out the lights.
The Dead Men Among Relatives,
CHICAGO, Nov. 1i.-After the hanging the
center of attraction TO idle curiosity seekers
was transferred to Milwaukee avenue, at
points along which thoroughfare the bodies
of the dead men lay. At little undertaker's
shop at No 1856 Milwaukee avenue the
bodies Of Lingg and Engel were prepared
for the grave. The latter's remains were
easily cared for and after being placed in
neat black cloth covered casket, was taken
to q little millinery store at No. 2s6 Milwau-
kee avenue, where the widow and brother Of
the dead man waited to receive them.
There was an eager, curious
crowd hanging around the shop, and though
fully hundred persons followed the black
wagon that transferred the remains to
Engel's old home, the crowd did not seem to
diminish in the least People pushed and
showed and crowded to get q sight of the in
terror Of the store in the rear of which
Lingg's body lay, while an undertaken did
his best TO make the mangled face more
slightly 1t was a difficult task and it was
some hours after Engel's body lay in state in
n hnf hn ron naI nj
were placed in u neat casket with silver trim
ming, exactly like that holding Engel's body
When this was finally done Lingg's mortal
remains were carried out and placed beside
those of his old friend. Hundreds of friends
of the dead men filed into and out of the little
shop and took last look at the faces, almost
strange from the passage Of time. At one
end of the store Mrs Engel sat with eyes red
with weeping and her face shrouded in a
black veil Eda Mueller, too, sat beside the
Casket which held all that remained on earth
of her lover. Her face was pale as death and
she sobbed cOnvulsively as sympathizing
friends filed in and out.
Further up the avenue, at No 506, is another
undertaker's shop where the bodies of Spies,
Parsons and Fischer were cared for. Mrs.
Parsons was the most noticeable person here.
She sat with her back to the window, through
which hundred eager eyes pcered. woman
clothed in black, with her face covered by a
heavy veil, held Mrs. Parsons hand This
was Mrs. Van Zandt and she was deeply
affected, as were the anarchists wives. A
small bowed figure sat alone in the corner on
a low stool II was Mrs Spies, the arch
anarchists mother. Her head was buried in
rfer hands and they were almost in
her lap. She. rocked to and fro in
an agony of grief, strangely at
who sat upright and looked toward where the
body of her husband lay. Her eyes were
fixed in strong stare. They were large and
lustrous, but seemed to have lost the power
of weeping. There she sat, one hand ciasped
in that of the woman next to her, her lips
moving and as though muttering some re-
solve, the thin, peaked, dark features peering
from behind the mass Of Grape and looking as
though there was something in future to an
ticipate. Hers was "a striking figure.
The body of Spies was embalmod and
turned over to his mother, who took it to
her home late in the evening. The en-
balmcrs are still at work ON the bodies Of
Parsons and Fischer and may not complete
thoir work until early tomorrow morning.
The cmbalning if beng done by Prof. w. A.
Sullivan, professional embalmer Of Bos-
ton.
Judging from the appearance of
'thc hanging of these men was II thoroughly
scientific piece Of work. did not witness
the execution, and my Judgment upon the
skill with which it was managed is based
upon my observation OF the appearance of the
bodies which l am now working upon. Engel
was the only one of the four whose neck was
broken. The other three choked to death.

Ficlden and Schwab.

were visited after the hanging. Both AZ

led his head in his hands and said: "Yes, yc
it is all over"

quite freely of the innocence of the men wh
had just been executed and Of the unfairnes
